Best Light Pole Repair in Columbus OH

I was hesitant to have a licensed electrician come and repair/replace our outdoor outlet in our screened patio. After all, I've been dealing with less-than-stellar contractors for the past 6 years, and that - unfortunately - seems to be the norm these days. Affordable translates to shoddy work and an I-don't-care attitude in many cases. However, Anthony proved yesterday that this isn't always so.

I'd missed our first scheduled appointment as a result of a personal tragedy we'd endured, and Anthony was very understanding and professional about the matter and instantly offered to reschedule. I'm quite pleased I made the decision to do just that. While this business is exceptionally busy with/for other customers, Anthony still made time to squeeze my partner and I into his schedule.

I will admit, when Anthony and his apprentice arrived for our service appointment, I was a bit...surprised. He was not at all what I expected. To be quite honest, I expected someone...well, OLDER. I know that was an unfair assumption and expectation, but I equated age with experience. I quickly found out that with Anthony, once again I was proven wrong...

Anthony and his apprentice, Thomas, set to work straightaway once shown the trouble spot and my hopes for the task were communicated to them. All the while, both of them were very helpful in answering questions, providing feedback, and conversing in general, and did not become annoyed a single time that I was talking their heads off. Once they accurately assessed the situation, Anthony outlined what he was going to do in order to rectify it, which actually went well above and beyond what I had expected to see accomplished at the end of the job!

By the conclusion of the task, we'd received an excellent, to-code solution to our issue. So, why did I not rate a star higher, for a 5 Star Review? Just a few things I felt should have been done differently in the course of their work. First, when the main power needed to be turned off instead of just a breaker or two, my partner, Darell, should have been notified of that since he was working from home that day, and could have potentially been in the middle of a call with a client when power was lost. This could have created an issue for Darell with his Supervisors. Second, a notch was cut into one of our secondary support beams when the original plan was to run wires a certain location, and in the end that ended up not being the case. An albeit-small piece of structure was needlessly removed (and left unfinished) before the final plan of execution had been determined and carried out. This shouldn't ever happen. Finally, regardless of the fact that some of the work carried out to resolve our electrical issue was conducted in an unfinished, utilitarian part of our basement, the small mess made when having notched out our support beam and stripping wiring to install a new receptacle should have been cleaned up and instead was left for us to deal with. Somewhat small matters, which is why only one star was deducted, but relevant nonetheless. Five stars are reserved for truly perfect transactions in my world, and while Anthony definitely has potential to receive nothing but that from all future customers, there is a little room for improvement.

Would I have Anthony and others from Buckeye Electric of Upper Arlington back to do more work? Would I recommend them to friends and family? Without a single moment's hesitation, and I'm already planning on scheduling a few more tasks to be carried out by them in the near future. The value received for the money, the friendly, knowledgeable service, receiving quality work, etc., all add up to an electrical service company that you will HAPPILY keep in your contacts! You'll wish ALL your contractors/handypeople were on this level, I'm sure of it.

Arrived on time, was friendly and helpful. They didn't try to pressure me in any way or try to give me unnecessary services.

Hired Buckeye Electrical to install 3 pieces of machinery in my business. Great communication before the job started. They showed up right on time and did great work. Would definitely recommend.

So far so good on the electrical work, but very poor rating for the mess they left behind. Huge chunks of mud left all over my laundry room and the large staples from previous electrical panel could have ruined my sweeper had I not seen them first!!! Please wear covers on your shoes and treat other people’s home with respect.

Seth and Nolan worked quickly and efficiently and were able to do everything I asked of them. I would definitely use this business again.

Excellent company!

Quick response & budget friendly price. Thanks guys

I signed the contract for a whole house backup generator on August 16, 2022. Every step of the process was more difficult than it needed to be. I had to call for updates as almost nothing was ever communicated to me. I had to pester them to schedule things. After much legwork on my part, the generator was finally installed in late February. As of this writing (May 25, 2023), my generator still does not work, even though it's been paid in full. The techs tested it, but every time we have an actual power outage, it does absolutely nothing. I work from home and the main idea behind getting the generator is that it would protect me from the occasional power outages that happen in the country. So, instead of actually being able to do my job, I have to call to have someone come out and that normally ends with promises that they will come back and fix it later because they cannot correct whatever is wrong with the generator this time. And then burn vacation time because I am physically incapable of doing my work. To say I am frustrated and disappointed is a massive understatement.
